Bills' Super Bowl Hopes Hinge On 1 Critical Position

The Buffalo Bills are seen as a genuine Super Bowl contender with a roster that has few holes after a positive offseason for general manager Brandon Beane.

Additions on both sides of the ball, especially defensively, where the biggest concerns were, will give the Bills, as they enter training camp, a sense of confidence in their current roster.

Seen as a shoo-in for the AFC East and having a genuine shot at the No. 1 seed, this feels like Buffalo's best chance at claiming its first Super Bowl trophy.

But as Fox Sports' Henry McKenna explains, that can only happen if one key position group plays to the standards it did last season.

"The offense ran as much around its big guys as it did around Allen," McKenna writes. "Buffalo's MVP QB made plenty of explosive plays (and made up for his lack of explosive playmakers), but it was the offensive linemen clearing a path for the ground game that really made this offense hum. That’s probably why Cook’s contract standoff isn’t going well. 

"The Bills think they can replicate their success with a different back. But if the big guys fail to win with the same authority in the trenches, then this offense loses what it does best. And I’m not sure the Bills have enough firepower in the passing game to make up for it."
